Always lock the battery with the key when in use. The electrical assistance will only operate if you pedal. The assistance will switch off the moment either of the two brake levers is depressed or the speed reaches more than 25 km/h. It will then restart automatically when below 23 km/h. In order to preserve battery life, the bike is equipped with a "power" limiter that limits assistance when the motor is under heavy strain. During intensive use and in exceptional weather conditions, the assistance may switch off to safeguard the entire system. 6 SCREEN AND CONTROL ELEMENTS Screen description and operation (Type A) 1 7 8 2 3 4 5 9 10 6 Assistance mode (0-1-2-3): "0" no assistance.

FURTHER DETAILS REGARDING THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON B'twin BIKES, purchased as of 1 June 2013. B'twin brand bikes are products designed to provide complete satisfaction to their users. For this reason, B'twin wishes to commit to the quality and durability of its bikes. Within this context, B'twin offers its clients a lifetime warranty which exclusively covers the following noncarbon parts: frames, rigid forks (non-suspension forks), handlebars and stems fitted to B'twin brand bikes. This warranty begins on the date of purchase of (a) B'twin brand bike(s). It is specified that, for the lifetime warranty to be valid, the buyer must: - either have a DECATHLON store loyalty card and register his/her purchase on it at the time of checkout, - or complete the warranty certificate available online on the www.btwin.com site within one month of the purchase date. During this registration, the buyer must provide the following information: last name, first name, purchase date, e-mail address, and bicycle tracking number. By virtue of this warranty, B'twin offers either the replacement by an equivalent of the frame, rigid fork, handlebars or stem, or their repair, within a reasonable time period, after being brought to a DECATHLON retail store repair shop. It is specified that travel and transportation costs remain the responsibility of the customer. However, this contractual obligation will not apply in the event of poor maintenance or misuse of B'twin bikes, as defined in the user manual of the product in question. To benefit from the warranty covering one of the parts listed above, you must simply visit the repair shop of a DECATHLON retail store, bringing either your DECATHLON store loyalty card or your warranty certificate with you.
